- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
Since the test substance is poorly soluble in dilution water at concentrations needed for the test, the saturated solutions of the test substance in dilution water were prepared for preliminary and full test.
The saturated solutions were prepared by adding measured amounts of the test substance to the dilution water. The saturated solutions were stirred for suitable period (3 hours) on a shaft stirrer and consequently filtered through 0.45 μm filter. These solutions were used for testing.
The suitable period for achieving equilibrated concentration of the test substance was determined in preliminary experiment. For preliminary experiment the saturated solutions were prepared as follows: 100 mg of the test substance in 1000 mL of dilution water was stirred for period 3, 24, 48 and 72 hours on a shaft stirrer, consequently filtered through 0.45 μm filter and the concentrations of the test substance in resulted solutions were determined.

The immobilisation of test organism by the reference substance (48h – EC50) obtained from last reference test meets the calculated range from the interlaboratory test.
Reference test:
48 hour – EC50 = 0.78 mg.L-1 (95% confidence limit: 0.64 – 0.93 mg.L-1)
Interlaboratory test:
48 hour – EC50 = 0.34 – 1.18 mg.L-1
Any other information on results incl. tables
EVALUATION OF RESULTS
The values of EC50 were calculated by means of software “Toxicita”(Water Research Institute, Ostrava, Czech Republic). The NOEC and EC100 values are identified by direct observation.
The nominal concentrations were used for all evaluations and results because, if evidence is available to demonstrate that the concentration of the test substance has been satisfactorily maintained within ± 20 percent of the nominal or measured initial concentration throughout the test, then the results can be based on nominal or measured initial values.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Executive summary:
The test substance, N-ethylcyclohexylamine, was tested in acute immobilisation test on Daphnia magna. The test was performed according to method C.2 – Daphnia sp. Acute Immobilisation Test, Council Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, published in O.J.L 142, 2008.
Since the test substance is poorly soluble in dilution water at concentrations needed for the test, the saturated solutions of the test substance in dilution water were prepared for preliminary test. The saturated solutions were prepared by adding measured amounts of the test substance to the dilution water. The saturated solutions were stirred for period 72 hours on a shaft stirrer and consequently filtered through 0.45 μm filter.
The preliminary test was performed in range of test substance nominal concentrations 10 – 100 mg.L-1. Based on toxicity of the test substance found in preliminary test, the full test was performed in appropriate concentration range.
The analytical results showed that the test substance N-ethylcyclohexylamine was sufficiently stable in dilution water at conditions of the test, therefore the test was performed as static one. The full test was performed in range of test substance nominal concentrations
10 - 120 mg.L-1. Samples for analytical determination were taken at the beginning and at the end of the test.
The nominal concentrations were used for all evaluations and results because, if evidence is available to demonstrate that the concentration of the test substance has been satisfactorily maintained within ± 20 per cent of the nominal or measured initial concentration throughout the test, then the results can be based on nominal or measured initial values.
TEST RESULTS:
24 hour–EC50 > 120 mg.L-1 (nominal concentration)
48 hour–EC50 = 66.0 mg.L-1 (nominal concentration)
(95% confidence limit: 55.8 – 76.2 mg.L-1)
24 hour–NOEC = 10 mg.L-1 (nominal concentration)
48 hour–NOEC < 10 mg.L-1 (nominal concentration)
24 hour–EC100 > 120 mg.L-1 (nominal concentration)
48 hour–EC100 > 120 mg.L-1 (nominal concentration)
